I don't think that the rpm size has much to do with a lightweight process. Shared libs, bad programming, ... can all easily cause a small rpm to cause more disk space, memory and CPU usage than a larger one.
If I have to do something remotely or just want a quick glance at something, I still use xpdf. Old interface but just like vi, once you got used to it, it's just quicker and easier than most modern alternatives.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this one, Mark.

You might be going the slightest bit blind... :-D On my version of evince there's a magnifying glass in the top right (plus Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut works).

Someone mentioned a reason or another why to switch away from xpdf. I seem to think it was that development was slow or nearly non-existent, but the recent release is from May 2014 [0]. Eh, I'm probably thinking of something else...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this one, Mark.
To you, and whoever else, you're very welcome. When my manager introduced me to it, my *instant* reaction was those state tax forms, but I know there's lots of other forms out there that the ignorant don't make fill-outable.

Do you have any suggestions for a good program to create PDF forms (linux or MS)? I have a PDF document here that we have our customers fill out. I looked into making it a form a while back, but I couldn't find any reasonable way to do it (there are a LOT of fields and check-boxes on this form). All of the things I tried wanted to add visual elements to the form along with the fields and I don't have room on the form for that. I just want to be able to say "allow typing here, here, here, ...".
Awesome
I will try it on Monday
Thanks,

Nope - I was talking about xournal. The mag glass there is for zoom.

hehe Thanks for clarifying. I too did not find a search feature in xournal's menus or gui.

Please note that I was *not* suggesting it for a lightweight .pdf reader, which was what the OP asked for. I was sharing the information that xournal exists, and deals with .pdfs, and not just cool but useful.
